Today I harvested nine 750ml jars of sauerkraut from the crock where it had been fermenting. Sometimes taking pleasure in little things makes getting through days like these easier 😀
#ferment#sauerkraut#FoodPreserving hooray, I did it! I accidentally broke every rule under the sun in the process, but there is no mold, no jelly and it tastes like pickled cabbage, so I call that a win. Learned so much and can't wait to make a ginger bug next week.
Every time I go out for a walk just now I come back with a bag of #Mushrooms. Yesterday’s haul of chanterelle put me into a mood for my gran’s potatoes, chanterelle, #sauerkraut and sour cream soup that was my favourite when as a wee laddie I used to spend summers with her. Turned out easy to make, and was absolutely delicious (and hopefully my five decades older digestive tract is going to agree 😊).
After the rousing success of #sauerkraut-in-a-bag, I decided to try #lactofermentation carrots-in-a-bag. It's only been a couple hours, but it's already bubbling away. (it did get a jump start from a little sauerkraut juice)
@thor That’s one of only a few advantages #Germany seems to have over #Norway. We too have only foreign cuisine, but we also have #Bavaria. Bavaria is German and not German at the same time and because it’s also what foreigners expect to be German, we can just send our tourists and Japanese business partners to a Bavarian restaurant. 🥨🍖🍺😋👍
Started some yoghurt and also some sauerkraut working over lunch time.
The yoghurt is about timing - remembering to start a batch before we use up the last of the previous batch – need it for culture.
The sauerkraut is just a process of massaging the chopped cabbage with salt and letting it sit for a few days immersed in the resulting liquid to ferment. No extra inoculation needed.
